Donahue, Patrick T., a native of the city of Watertown, was born February 28, 1856. He obtained his education
in the public schools of his native city. His parents removed to Watertown Center, which is about two miles south
of the city, when he was but one year of age and where he has since resided. After finishing his schooling he was
employed by his father, who was superintendent of Brookside cemetery, and remained with him until 1891, when he
succeeded his father and has since had charge of the cemetery. This cemetery comprises 108 acres and was first
opened to the public in 1853 and dedicated the following year and since that time there has been about twelve thousand
interments. Mr. Donahue has full charge of the cemetery and has from three to twelve workmen under his charge all
the year. August 15, 1889, he married Catherine, daughter of Dennis and Catherine (Dacey) Flanery, who came to
this country from Ireland in 1851, and settled in Fulton, Oswego county, N. Y. Mr. Donahue is a member of the A.
O. H.; C. M. B. A. and the Catholic church.
